In the wake of Jayam Ravi’s announcement of separation from his wife Aarti, numerous rumors emerged, linking the actor to singer and psychologist Kenishaa Francis. Many speculated that Kenishaa played a role in the couple’s split, but she has since spoken out, denying the allegations and clarifying her position.
Kenishaa Francis Breaks Her Silence
During the launch of her song Idhai Yaar Solvaaro earlier this year, Kenishaa revealed in an interview with DT Next that her relationship with Jayam Ravi had remained strictly professional and distant until June. She explained that Jayam Ravi contacted her at a time when he was “mentally and emotionally bruised” from his marriage to Aarti. She firmly denied any role in his separation, stating:
“He got in touch with me when he was mentally and emotionally bruised and battered from his marriage to Aarti. There are certain articles that say I am the reason behind his separation from his ex-wife. Those are false claims.”
Kenishaa further clarified that Jayam Ravi approached her after he had already initiated the legal process of divorce. According to her, the actor wanted to maintain privacy in Chennai, which is why he confided in her.
A Message to the Public
In addition to her interview, Kenishaa took to Instagram to address the growing speculation. She asked people to respect the personal nature of the situation, writing:
“A humble request and an appeal to all who have taken the liberty to make other people’s issue your own – stay out of it. This is not your home’s issue but someone else’s, and you’re not allowed an opinion in this matter. Leave me out of it. I have work to do and don’t advocate for uncanny banter. Lastly, be kind to everyone. It’s the only necessity in the world right now.”
Jayam Ravi’s Response
Jayam Ravi also addressed the rumors, publicly dismissing the claims that Kenishaa was involved in his divorce. He emphasized that Kenishaa is a professional who has worked hard in her career, adding that she is a licensed psychologist. He made it clear that Kenishaa’s name should not be dragged into the matter, reiterating that his decision to part ways with Aarti was made after careful consideration.
He said, “People are saying random things. Don’t indulge in such acts. Kenishaa is a healer who saved many lives, and she deserves respect. Our personal life should remain personal.”
The Divorce Speculations
Jayam Ravi’s separation from Aarti became a hot topic when, a few days after their 15th wedding anniversary, Aarti removed all her pictures with the actor from her Instagram account. This fueled divorce rumors, which were later confirmed when Jayam Ravi officially announced their separation on social media. He asked for privacy and respect for both parties involved, making it clear that the decision was reached after careful thought and reflection.
As the divorce proceedings between Jayam Ravi and Aarti continue, both Jayam and Kenishaa Francis have made their positions clear, urging the public to refrain from making assumptions or spreading false rumors. For now, both seem focused on their respective futures, with Kenishaa continuing her career as a singer and psychologist, and Jayam Ravi moving forward with his acting career and family matters.
